Whistleblower Programs

The most reliable method to identify occupational fraud schemes in public and private sector enterprise is a tip from a whistleblower. The best tips come from your employees. To leverage these tips you need an effective and reliable mechanism in place to receive the disclosure, investigate thoroughly, and protect your whistleblower from reprisals.

In 2012, Alberta enacted the Public Interest Disclosure (Whistleblower Protection) Act. This legislation compels all government departments, offices of the Legislature, and public entities to have policies and procedures in place to develop a compliance regime, receive employee disclosures, investigate alleged wrongdoings, protect whistleblowers from reprisals, and submit certain annual reports to the Commissioner. A public entity is any provincial agency, board, commission, or Crown corporation.

Clarium Fraud & Compliance Solutions is uniquely placed to provide Alberta’s public entities with the policy, training, and investigative expertise they require to earn and maintain compliance with this new legislation.

More than any other fraud detection technique available, the tip from a whistleblower is the most reliable way to identify occupational fraud taking place inside your business. Is your company properly positioned to cultivate and investigate tips from employees, vendors, even your competitors?
